Bijouterie — Violet Portrait on Yellow

Series: The Bijouterie Medium: Acrylic on cardboard Part of Gela Mikava’s The Bijouterie series, this original acrylic painting considers how adornment shapes our reading of a person. The oversized earrings offer a clear, repeated form beside a face whose expression remains uncertain. Recognition shifts between the individual and the ornament. Visible brushwork, layered colour and descending marks connect the portrait to its painted surface, balancing a strong silhouette with passages of ambiguity.
